Kamala Harris on Tuesday night faces a task unprecedented in modern political history. On the debate stage in Philadelphia, she will deliver both an opening argument – to the millions of voters who want to know more about her – and a closing argument – for her candidacy and against Donald Trump’s – as their lightning campaign enters its final eight weeks.

Polling shows that Harris impressed people with her debate performance — but the improvement was largely on non-policy perceptions.

Kamala Harris said she called former Donald Trump Tuesday following a second assassination attempt on him in West Palm Beach, Florida.
